H2O, which was okay but they didn't tell me that I needed a newer phone -- so when said phone "died" I assumed it was them, switched away, found out it was that EDGE/G2 cell calls were no more.
Now I use Puretalk. The ten-dollar plan I had went away even though they grandfathered me in, so I don't know what to suggest. WiFi phone with an app from a VoIP provider like CallCentric? I pay $5/mo for my home phone.
I thought this was going to be a generic thread for "things you've done that only poor people have done"
In which case the mcdonalds ketchup on raman noodles incident is likely at the top of the list. Would fain have used the spices included, but it got knocked into the carpet after it was torn open.
